I just purchased an NF7-S after blowing my GA-7VAX up. I have a pitiful XP2000+ Tbred A with 2x256 PC2700 ram. Though, even with that I could do the SW1 modification to activate the 1/5 divider and get my stock FSB from 133 to 166 and get the chip overclocked to 1850mhz stable (185x10)without even touching the voltages. With the NF7-S I thought I'd be in overclocking heaven, but I can hardly get past 155fsb. I know the board is awesome, but I'm just not having any luck with it. Right now the voltages and cpu (133x12.5) are at stock (I just cleared the CMOS after screwing around for awhile). Obviously faster RAM and a better processor would help, but is there anything I can do to get some decent overclock on my system now? Is there something I'm missing, or what? You can tell by my hardware I'm a newbie at this stuff. Any, and all help would appreciated.
Thanks, Overcrocked
